En rezago, 4,498 asuntos en el Inai ante falta de quórum en el pleno
The National Institute for Transparency lacks a legal quorum, leaving thousands of citizen appeals unresolved and threatening public access to information and the protection of personal data. This paralysis stems from vacant commissioner seats that the Senate has failed to fill, effectively blocking independent oversight. As a result, citizens cannot easily challenge government denials of information or improper corporate data usage. This situation undermines Mexico’s international human rights obligations and disregards recommendations from regional bodies to maintain an autonomous, empowered authority for data protection. This issue is critical for open data because it demonstrates how political gridlock can dismantle the institutional safeguards necessary for transparency. Without functional oversight mechanisms, the fundamental right to know is compromised, weakening the accountability structures essential for a robust open data ecosystem.
